The Ohio QSO Party is an opportunity for amateur radio operators around the world to celebrate the great state of Ohio.If you are a ham we invite you to stop into the Woodchuck's Cement Tent and join us.

If you’re not a ‘ham’ and this sounds like a foreign language to you, please visit the Woodchuck's and we will demonstrate the event to you.

The ARRL site has resources that explain amateur radio and how you can become licensed and join in the fun.
